2021 Wheelersburg Pirates

[Kirtland80]

So we were better than kirtland? Cool.

You wish. We was only 7 point fav vs Ironton according to calpreps and you see what happened there. I used Calpreps every year we played Marion Local vs that 17 burg team and Marion Local was favored in each

Lol. I’m out. I’ve gotten a lot riled up on here but you take the cake. Lol. I give up. You got me.

Gotta get more posts to move up from all conference somehow. May as well be arguing with you I want hippo status. Let’s disagree on more things

[PirateFan[69]]

Did I really say that? Go back and screenshot that for me please...

Page 9 in the “will ironton ever cultivate..” thread

Screenshot those exact words please. If you’re going to quote me, at least get it right and don’t say I said something other than what I did say. I’m still waiting on the reasoning of why that doesn’t help? I asked but, never got an answer from you

Does that say I could coach just as well? LaVerde has help. Why you think he doesn’t wear a headset for? He implemented things to get this going but Sullivan in the weight room is why we make title runs

[Kirtland80]

But I’m not gonna spoil your Burg thread. Good luck next season

Thank goodness, that's over.

What makes calpreps the god of predicting scores? It’s some keyboard Warrior sitting at a screen making guesses. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.

Burg coulda never done it in the OKAC or SEOAL. Woulda been Ironton & Portsmouths doormats. Don't pretend there is not a distinct difference. Lol.

Even in athletes.

Holden. = average player. Ended up playing hoops at a small school.

Carrico: All American. D1 Commit. 4 stars. BIG TIME.

Ya never had the talent. Lets be intellectually honest.

Lil sisters.

You have to be the biggest idiot I've ever seen on here and I've been on a long time. Holden basically turned down a scholarship from OSU clown because he wanted to play basketball. Holden was also smart to go to a smaller school where he started as a Freshman who unlike Carrico will never see the field at OSU, sorry that's JMO. I think he is more suited for Marshall or OU or any of the MAC schools but not the Big 10.

I'd bet a crisp $100 bill Carrico will end up at one of the above mentioned schools. If a small DV school like Kirtland made him obsolete on defense in there game, do you really think he can compete with a Penn St or Mich St or any of them for that matter??? His coach got him that scholly I would almost bet money on it. Everyone would love to see local kids do good but I think he is getting in over his head.

Holden didn't get offered by Ohio State. I am sure they looked at him, but didn't extend an offer. Carrico will be fine with the coaching and conditioning he will get at OSU.

Kirtland would have beat the Burg worse than they did Ironton, Burg isn't physical enough to compete with them.

You are correct, Holden didn’t get extended an offer because he more or less told Urban he wanted to play basketball after HS so they quit recruiting him but trust me, Urban wanted him really bad.

I hope nothing but the best for Carrico but he’s got a lot of improvement to do before he plays for the Bucks. I still think he would have been a great fit at Marshall!!!

Burg played Columbus Watterson and the only Buckeye that saw Holden play was Urban's wife. Their son played for Watterson. Urban wasn't there and neither were any assistant coaches. That doesn't sound like he wanted him bad. Just sayin.

Urban/tOSU started recruiting Holden b/c of what he did to Watterson that game.*

That and I’m pretty sure he took in a game as a recruit.

But anyone who doubts that holden wasn’t a high level D1 football player, makes me doubt if that person knows football. Holden was the real deal and because his interest never was high in football doesn’t diminish how good he was in the sport.

He visited Urban a week or so after the Watterson game because Urbam didn’t believe he was a 6’6” WR with that kind of speed and skills. Urban wanted him to not play AAU basketball over the summer between his Junior and Senior year and Holden told him he couldn’t do it. He loved basketball more than football. That’s when Urban knew he wasn’t getting him so he stopped recruiting him.

Had Holden decided to play football after HS his numbers would have been different his Senior year. Go look at his numbers from his Junior and his Senior years. Not even close. He wanted to be the focal point his Junior year and hopefully get that state title, which he did. He put up some staggering numbers his Junior year, some that put him in the top ten in the OHSAA record book. His Senior year his numbers dropped off considerably as he didn’t want the ball as much. He went from a finalist for Mr. Football, DV Co-offensive player of the year and of course 1st team all state his Junior year to 2nd team all state his Senior year. It wasn’t that teams were shutting him down. His passion was basketball and I think he played just enough to get by that year. The numbers don’t lie and trust me, he didn’t take a lot of hits his Senior year.

He has really shined at Wright St on the court and I think he could have been playing for the Buckeyes right now. He is by far the best football/ basketball player combo to ever come out of Wheelersburg and maybe even Scioto county.

Burg's run of excellence speaks for itself. Watching Waver!y play the Pirates during the mid and late 1960's, you could see the raw talent the Burg had on the field. They just needed the coaching spark provided by Ed Miller starting in 1972 to round into a championship caliber program.

[wobycat]

Excited to see Burgs backfield. They return probably the best back in the area and another junior will be filling in as well as he came back fro one year being at valley. Burgs offensive success will hinge on them having a line. They have three coming back that saw some time. One started.

Defensively I think they will be really good. A little undersized but I think they will be quick.

Kid coming in from valley? Not heard of that.

Also heard another potentially from Ashland? Anyone have info on this.

Must be doing well on the recruiting trail.

Originally from Burg, transferred to Valley for a year, came back last year, only eligible for first half of year, will be fully eligible this year.

Hadn’t heard anything about anyone from Ashland though. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Excited for next season already!! Only 7 short months away.

Probably talking about the Glover kid that went back to Burg.
